Johnson & Johnson was Pfizer’s rival bidder in acquisition negotiations with Global Blood Therapeutics, Bloomberg reports. In fact, known as company A, J&J was the one that set off the deal talks by proactively contacting GBT with a buyout offer before Pfizer came in, according to a securities filing.
The first contact with GBT was made by another company, which on May 26 asked to buy out the sickle cell disease (SCD) specialist for $55 per share, a new securities filing shows. In the months that followed, GBT pitted that first comer and Pfizer against each other, managing to push Pfizer to sweeten its offer several times before shaking hands on the $68.50-per-share price in their $5.4 billion deal.
Pfizer on Monday said it has agreed to acquire Global Blood Therapeutics for $5.4 billion in a deal that will hand it a recently approved drug for sickle cell disease, as well as two other experimental medicines for the rare blood condition.
